BRAINS!!!! BRAINS!!!! ......POW POW.... DIE ZOMBIE THREAD from 2014.

That being said.... always have had a manual but bought a Z with the A8. Sitting in bumper to bumper traffic creeping alone for an hour yesterday I was happy I did. It is fun to "point and shoot" with the auto..... but I do miss having a manual. Both are fun and valid options.

The only time I wished I didn't order manual transmission was in 2006 model year.
My Corvette was delivered with only 6 miles, and received recall about improperly manufactured flywheel assembly.
Luckily the Corvette Brand Quality Manager took Corvette to Service Operations Garage at the GM Tech Center. Technician with 26 years experience changed the flywheel. Believe the job was between 8 and ten hours.
After the work was completed never had a problem with the Corvette less the delamination of the magnesium lift off roof panel frame and the polycarbonate painted roof panel.
Luckily Corvette was built with C2L and didn't need to surrender Corvette to anyone.
Top was built using hard ware from the original top and handed to me in the service garage. Loaded top to storage in rear of Corvette and departed.
